Mike Conaway: “I have great confidence in you and your leadership, and Tim's help, that we will get the proper oversight done.”

The Farmers to Families Food Box Program (FFFBP) was the victim of a rushed process that included no engagement with current distributors and nonprofits and resulted in cherry-picked contractors who were not qualified.

I want American farmers participating in this, and American people support these programs in large part because they think it is American-grown products that are being used over there.

The real question for me, though, is who pays for it?

I am grateful we have a new farm bill in place and a President who constantly stands up for the very Americans who provide our food and fiber.
